sinner ior thcn ali. she loved and re-
srected him, and her future seemed TO
her full res,ompen~e for the weary past.
One day not long since-and il was an
evil day-an old acquaintance visited
him They had in the years gone been
warm friends, for they had fought to-
gether under the banner of the sunny
South and oft had shared the same blan-
ket as partisans-yes, guerillas, bush
whackers, if you like.
Right glad they were to meet, and the
husband received him cordially for old
times sake, and the wife made him wei
come for the sake of her husband One
night. as they sat around the ruddy
hearth after the evening meal, the two
men talked of the stirring scenes through
which they had passed, and, as old sol
diers will, fought their battles over
again"
While engaged in dwelling ON remi-
niscences of the war her husband remark
esl that he never knew how strong were
the feelings of affection man bad Tor
his family until he himself had married.
and placing his heavy hand on his COM
panion's knee, he said
John have always been sorry that |
did not let that poor Yankee Lieutenant
see his wife and child before We strung
him up ten years ago
His wife heard the remark and slowly
rose to her feet, her face a. white As mar
bic and her distended eyes fixed upon
her husbands face with an expression Of
intense horror. Twice she essayed TO
speak, but failed then with loud, un-
earthly, heartbroken scream-she fell
ike a corpse TO the floor.
When she recovered her consciousness
she had little TO say. The light of her
life had gone out forever. She loved her
husband, for he had been good and true
and kind to her. Perhaps he was not so
much to blame that he killed her first
love. Ii was the fortune Of war, she sup
posed: but-but-she could live with him
no longer. oh, no! There came a picture
from the halls of memory that bade her
90.
And taking her boy, she went.
Her sad story told before the Court IN
a suit for divorce freed her forever from
the ties which bound her TO one whose
very presence conjured up the frightfni
vision which the guerilla chieftain had
prepared for her ewes ten years before.

The Territory MIDDLE.
St. Louis Republican:


1t seems that the National party

ing to Hayes the Downing party out
of the election of chief. The cleo
tion Of chief was held few months
ago, and the returns showed that
Jos. P. Mayes, the Downing candI-
date, was elected by narrow major
ity. A few months later the Nation.
ais claimed that their man was elect
ed 1t is charged by the Downings,
and with some show Of reason, that
the ballots were tempered with.
Rabbit Bunch, the National candi
date, is at present assistant princi-
pal chief under Bushyhead. The
Nationals have been IN power for
number OF years. The cattle syndi
cate, who have leased the 100000
acres OF Cherokee lands. are the vii
lains in the play. The lease expires
next year, and the syndicate and
the National party desire it renew
ed without competition. The Down
ings favor lease to the highest
bidder. The Dowlngs feel confident
that Mayes was honestly elected,
and are ready to fight to install him.
The party in power declare that
Bunch must be installed chief.
There is no tribunal TO which the
dispute can be referred. and a resort
to arms seems inevitable. II a fight
takes place Uncle Sam will have to
interfere, and tribal relations will
be apt TO be shattered.
